Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut ends off of 1 large bulb of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle the garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place garlic in a foil pouch and roast 40-45 minutes until soft and golden. Cool garlic to handle then squish roasted garlic from skins and mash into smooth paste; reserve.

Thinly slice cloves of garlic from another bulb (that’s 7). Finely chop 7 more cloves, the third bulb.
